Lava Labyrinth ~ The maze for walking meditations. This 7 chamber peridot encrusted lava labyrinth  has been empowered to balance the chakras  as you spiral through conscious & subconscious. The entrance is the mouth of chi in which the single path spirals around in order to reach the goal or center. Most use this tool to simply balance the yin and yang or the energy centers of the body. The more advanced visionaries can incorporate a star journey through the planets or the esoteric magic square.   "Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path... exactly where you are meant to be right now... And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love."  Caroline Adams	The Retreat Encampment Lotus Mana Center ~ for teaching, meditation, and gatherings.

Lotus Mana Center  (Mana-spiritual, empowering) We are done with the sacred space teaching cabana. The floor is cement that Damon has placed a beautiful stain upon. The 16 X 20 foot cabana has a metal roof with 2 very large sky lights for natural light and star gazing. We are looking into a silent generator for electricity but do not mind it being off the grid.

The Gardens & Wild Life ~ Presently we have for the table - pineapple, citrus, apple banana, dragon fruit, rosemary, mint, oregano, & misc others. As for plants on the 3 acres we have ohia trees galore, bird of paradise, sandlewood, palm, orchids, ginger plants, bromiliads, sacred Hawaiian milie, koa and much more that I am not familiar with. Most are young plants that were given to us when had our Hawaiian blessed wedding from neighbors and friends, as well as new seedlings that birds have gifted us. Mahalo for all the blessings! The birds around here are outstanding! This one is a pheasant that came to the islands from India and some call them a Hawaiian chicken but they are beautiful. We have a pair that come down in the morning to be fed with the multitude of winged ones. We also have yellow, red, and house finches. It is sweet to drink coffee on the lani (patio) and watch the birds.	Ohana Tent Cabana For private meditation we have a large 12 x 10 tent. We can provide a minimal amount of material things (sleeping bags if needed) so the mind will enjoy the sounds of nature, fresh air, stars, etc..., yet make the teaching retreats comfortable.
